+LyX 2.3.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. It is the
+result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and
+more stable. Most of the changes are fairly minor, fixes of smallish bugs,
+but a couple crashes have been fixed, as well.
+One oft-requested feature (going back 13 years) is the ability to create
+new child documents from within the 'include file' dialog. This is now
+possible. Another equally old bug that has been fixed is that pasting
+table content outside a table no longer pastes tab characters.
